829 Attack and Defense of Mecca (7)

On February 21, destined to be associated with the name of a city, Mecca, a fortified wall in the southeast, on this day, a battle of the greatest scale broke out in front of this obstacle that was not originally considered by the Nords, this attack and defense war was fought by both sides, on the one hand, the Falcon army, which had only 7,000 second-rate troops, and on the other hand, it brought together 60,000 elites of the southern overlord Nord Kingdom,

The disparity in strength and dramatic changes made this most tragic offensive and defensive battle at the time of the creation of the Falcon Dynasty a symbol of the era of kingdom hegemony.

Now, let's go up the river of time, and look down on this place destined to become a legend, the onslaught of 60,000 Nord troops has made the land outside Mecca a blood-colored land, the Nord heavy infantry in charge of the siege, holding tall iron shields, tight helmets to protect their necks, these soldiers with siege tomahawks in their hands, people are crowded, and the shields are against the backs of the soldiers in front,

The fuel bombs thrown from the city with trebuchets, dragging the black smoke and flames, smashing a scorched mark among the enemies below, or slashing overhead with a violent whistling sound, often an incendiary bomb will make a deep pit appear in the road, and the flames will ignite the nearby land, forming a ring of fire, and the soldiers who are lit by the flames, the miserable howls continue to sound,

On the road leading to the city wall, the smoke rolled up by the burning siege engines rose into the sky, and tens of thousands of Nord elites, like ants climbing the wall, poured up on the great bank wall of Mecca City and the steep mountain wall, stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and the Nord infantry of the Third Banner Regiment finally climbed to the head of Mecca.

The falcon infantry defending the city did not give an inch, and countless spears were like a row of sharp barbs growing on the head of the city, piercing the body of the enemy who had just climbed the city wall from several directions, and with a heart-rending scream, the target who was stabbed was picked up by the spear, and then fell down heavily

The two sides engaged in a brutal strangulation battle around the city wall, and countless falcon soldiers with spears in their hands blocked these battlements tightly, just waiting for the opposing infantry to rush up.

The fierce battle began, from here to there, countless sharp weapons were slashing and killing, the two sides of the fierce battle gritted their teeth, bleeding profusely, there were swords and swords everywhere, and the human body on the city was soon also fortified.

The two sides stepped on the bodies of the wounded and the dead and continued to fight, and the screams continued one after another. The Nord army relied on the support troops that boarded, quickly achieved numerical superiority, morale was very high, one Nord soldier even cut down a falcon flag planted on the battlements, he excitedly held it high to show his compatriots under the city, the Nord soldiers burst into earth-shattering cheers: "Nord will win"

For a while, everyone thought that the city was just around the corner, and they were very excited!

"Shoot!"

A row of dazzling cold light flashed the eyes of the Nords in an instant, and they saw hundreds of long steel crossbow arrows with the thickness of an arm, shooting from the watchtower on the right side of the city wall with a scream that tore through the air.

"Papapa" The Nord army that had just climbed the city wall was like being swept across by a neat sharp scythe, the whole row of soldiers was like being hit from the front by an invisible giant hammer, and the whole body was twisted and knocked out, and the thousands of soldiers who had just climbed the city head had not even had time to end the cheering posture, and they all fell down.

"Quick, plug the gap immediately" Just in the gap where the Nord army was shocked, the falcon army on the city wall had already counterattacked again,

The leader was a short guy, wearing heavy infantry armor, but the agility of the body was terrifying, and the curved sword in his hand was powerful and directly split the shield of the Nord people on the opposite side, and then stabbed into the chest of the Rude soldier,...,

"Get out!" A knife split the corpse of the Nord soldier in front of him, and the war knife in the hand of the Mecca city guard Ruandi swept across the waist of a Nord soldier, "poof" A crisp sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, the sharp blade broke through the armor of the Nord soldier like a piece of paper, and the bright red blood with the internal organs sprayed out from the knife edge and splashed onto Ruandi's body

"Come on, Nord bunnies!"

Lu Andy pulled out the war knife in his hand from the corpse, kicked the corpse out with a heavy kick, and shouted unfinished, seeing that the main general was so brave, the morale of the falcon soldiers who rushed up behind was doubled, and the guns and knives were slashed, and the thousands of falcon troops who came to support were like crazy, squeezing the Nord army towards the battlements of the city wall

"Youkai!"

The Nord who was staring directly at him was so frightened that his face turned pale, and in front of him he didn't look like a living person at all, his whole body was covered with blood, and there was still minced flesh from someone he didn't know who was hanging on his body, and he was holding an arc-shaped weapon in his hand that he couldn't see his original face clearly, and it was completely a demon crawling out of the pile of dead people, and his blood-red eyes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent

The Nordden troops who retreated in a panic did not expect that there was a battlement with no way to retreat behind them, and some soldiers who had just climbed the city wall were squeezed out of the city wall by the people in front of them, and smashed on their companions below like falling stones, and the piles of Nord soldiers below were smashed into chaos

"My lord, you can't do this!" At this time, Lu Andy's adjutant Luo Anpunk caught up with him panting,

"What are you afraid of, the Nord people are not three heads and six arms, and if they are cut down with a knife, they will die!" Lu Andi pursed his lips disdainfully, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and felt a hot air from his shoulder, just now a Nord soldier's battle axe almost grazed his shoulder, although he did not break the thick shoulder pad, but it also made Lu Andy suffer a heavy blow, almost dislocated the entire left hand, he didn't feel anything when he charged, and now he suddenly stopped, and his whole body was a sense of weakness,

"Damn, it's almost possible to open a gap in the city wall!" Crimson Erdo, who was watching the momentum of the attack outside the city, clenched his fists, and his blue and black pupils couldn't help but constrict.

There were 50 ballistae in the city of Mecca, which was something that had been in the intelligence for a long time, and the Nord army did not know much about this weapon,

But Crimson Erdo doesn't think that just 50 ballistas can affect the battle of tens of thousands of people, although it is undeniable that this legendary weapon was simply born specifically to guard the city walls, and if you remove the complexity of loading and the consumption of arrow clusters, it is simply an invulnerable killing machine.

But the scarce number has been decided, and the ferocious launch just now can only be a flash in the pan.
